I posted a question about this elsewhere on the forums with no response so I thought I would suggest it here as a feature. I will try to explain why I think this is a required feature below.
Let's say you have a checking account with $2000 and a loan with a balance of $-1000.
You set up a budget category for loan payment with an estimated spending of $250 a month.
You decide to pay the $250 on the loan and transfer the funds from checking to loan on MMEX and categorize it. The transaction shows up in both account summaries and the balances reflect the transaction.
The problem is now that the program sees a $-250 transaction from the checking and a $250 transaction in the loan account, both categorized as Loan Payment. It therefore calculates a net $0 transaction and the category balance is unchanged.
My request is a function that allows the user to select certain accounts to be hidden from the categories. That way the transaction could still be recorded in both accounts but the categories would only display the $-250 from the checking account, the loan balance would be correct, and the net worth calculation would be accurate.
As I mentioned in my other post, it is possible that I am making an error in how I use the software, however I have tried to experiment with work-arounds and haven't found a solution.
